August 19, 20232 yr Lark Charter Aviation Intro Hello all, I am a beginner flight simmer and I enjoy flying helicopters and turboprop aircraft. Unfortunately, I don't get a chance to fly very often. But one of my other hobbies is community building. I am recruiting partners to launch Lark Charter Aviation.What is LCA? Lark Charter Aviation is a virtual organization specializing in helicopter charters & tours, and GA charter flights. Our pilots will have a chance to fly out of unique locations to interesting destinations. When LCA is up and running, we'll be organizing events, and participating in VATSim & other community events. Virtual Structure Lark Charter Aviation will operate, initially, a fleet of Bell Model 407s out of the Downtown Manhattan Heliport (KJRB) with charter destinations to: - KACY (Atlantic City Int'l, Atlantic City, NJ) - KFOK (FSG Airport, Westhampton, NY) - 87N (Southampton Heliport, Southampton, NY) - KHTO (East Hampton Airport, East Hampton, NY) - KUUU (Newport State Airport, Newport, RI) - KHYA (Cape Cod Gateway Airport, Hyannis, MA) - 1B2 (Katama Airport, Martha's Vineyard, MA) - 09W (South Capitol Street Heliport, Washington, DC) 407 pilots will also have the opportunity to fly 3 tour routes around New York City: - Manhattan Tour (Highlights: Statue of Liberty, Ellis Island, 1 World Trade, Chrysler Building, Empire State Building, Chelsea Piers, Times Square, The Intrepid, Central Park) - Big Apple Tour (Manhattan Tour Plus: Columbia University, Grant's Tomb, Yankee Stadium, The Palisades, George Washington Bridge & the northern tip of Manhattan) - Empire Tour (Manhattan + Big Apple Tours Plus: Verazzano Bridge & Brooklyn/Brooklyn Bridge) Our fixed wing hub will be Teeterboro Airport (KTEB) operating a fleet of Beechcraft King Air 350i & Cessna Citation CJ4s. Regular charter flight destinations out of Teeterboro will be: - KBVT (Patrick Leahy Burlington International Airport, Burlington, VT) - MYNN (Lynden Pindling International Airport, Nassau, Bahamas) - CYUL (Montreal-Trudeau International Airport, Montreal, Canada) - others as filed by pilotsNext Steps I am recruiting experienced sim flyers for the following roles:Flight Operations Director (FOD) - This person will assist in developing and maintaining SOP's regarding flight operations (testing & introducing new aircraft & aircraft models, as well as FS2020 mods & add-ons to improve user experience & immersion as well as trouble shooting with members as they implement). Senior Training Officers (STO) - These individuals will be available for training sessions & check rides for LCA's members (must have significant experience in at least one of our aircraft). Flight Line Operations Director (FLOD) - This people will assist members with technical programs used to interact with the in-game flight sim community (IATO, VATSim, etc). Human Resources Director (HR) - Our HR department will be actively recruiting new pilots, and will act as moderators in our Discord channel. Graphic Designer - This person will help to create the visual branding of Lark Charter Aviation. The ideal candidate will have experience designing liveries for MS2020 aircraft. Content Creators - Sim aviators who actively stream or create content for Twitch or YouTube who are willing to represent LCA. I obviously don't expect every video or stream to be an LCA flight. But, charters and tour flights could be a fun addition to your content calendar. What I'll be doing: - Logo & branding package - I'm working right now on designing a logo set for LCA. - Website & Discord development - I am researching VA management software, and once I settle on the best one for us, will begin building a website around it. - Recruiting pilots & staff - Developing partnerships If you're interested in joining as a pilot, or helping to build Lark, you can join the Discord at: https://discord.gg/GngWeTSmTe
